Amazing tour, highly recommend! - It was amazing! We were lucky the weather was really good as well, so we managed to do the cliff jumping, visit many secret unique caves, and the kayaking was just enough, not too much! The guides also had many amazing food recommendations, so highly recommend this tour if you just want a one stop package to explore it all

Enjoyable tour - Eduardo was a fun and excellent guide. We had a great time and learned a lot on our trip. The caves were beautiful and the overall experience was enjoyable. The tour uses a secondary company for the kayak portion of the tour. They charge extra for cell phone cases, but do provide a dry bag. The kayak tour guide was just okay. However, there aren't really other options, as this is a regulated activity.

Very satisfied customer! - Eduardo was a fantastic guide- he was punctual and left at 7AM sharp with the rest of the tour from the meeting point in Faro. The kayak portion of this trip was approximately an hour, but then a tour of nearby caves and some optional cliff jumping was included. Eduardo's knowledge of the area really came through, and he provided us with an unforgettable experience. He prioritized safety and allowed for the tour participants to make decisions when they wanted to participate versus when they didnt feel comfortable. It was overall a 10/10 experience and I would highly recommend to anybody wanting to try.

Great day in the Algarve. - The guide was very encouraging, informative, professional and positive. It was a great mix of seeing caves from the water(kayaks), discovering caves by land and relaxing stroll in a beach town.

100% recommend - Eduardo was an excellent guide - patient, kind and knowledgeable. The early morning kayak was amazing - worth the early start to avoid the crowds. Eduardo gave us enough information that was interesting and informative- but not so much that it became boring. It was also nice having some free time on the trip as well. If in Faro again I would definitely book another trip with Eduardo. 100% recommend.

One of the best tour I’ve been to - I joined Eduardo’s tour while travelling solo, and it was honestly one of the best experiences of my trip. The group was small and intimate, which made it easy to connect with others — I even made new friends along the way. Eduardo’s passion for his job really shines through; he doesn’t just guide, he shares stories, hidden gems, and personal insights that make the trip come alive. What I loved most was how thoughtful and engaging he was. He made sure everyone felt included, adjusted to the group’s pace, and created an atmosphere that felt more like exploring with a local friend than a formal tour. One of the best tour I’ve been to.

We got up really early to... - We got up really early to meet at the pick up point and waited from 6.45 to 0715. Noone came to collect us or answered our calls and messages ☹️ We were told later that the tour had already left at 0700 which couldn’t be possible as we were there… I think in truth, there was an issue between Viator and the tour company and the booking didn’t go through properly, even though the money was taken, and that’s the reason they didn’t come. We got a quick refund but were really disappointed. I think they should look into this so it doesn’t happen to anyone else.
